I’ll be using this website to carry me through a week of blindness (no glasses); much appreciated. And I’m sure I’ll stop by after too. Cheers, and truly thank you.
I also made the comment right above this, so I’m still blind—- Keep going dude. if you like doing this, keep doing it. This is essential for film, it’s a great way to learn about film, and honestly better than practically every other way except actually making film and/or watching/studying, thinking/reflecting about film.. Keep adding more and more. And if I may add, if possible, full commentaries on ones you think are really good.

so cool. Thanks a lot.

Future analysis could include Luc Besson, Brian De Palma, John Woo and Robert Zemeckis. Plenty of worthwhile sequences and techniques to study there.
Thank you so much for this service. Fantastic reference tool for beginners and veterans alike.
I found here a tones of great stuff to read.
But using white font on very dark background is so annoying…
Maybye it’s only me, but i still see “white lines”. Please think about it.
